Politics and News Through the Libertarian Lens

Post navigation

Business & Politics, Issue 470.

Went to the libertarian state convention this weekend in Indianapolis. Caught up with a lot of old friends and met some new ones.
Listened to what some of our presidential candidates had to say as well.
Long but productive weekend, back to reality. Had breakfast Sunday with our gubernatorial candidate Rex Bell (he shares a lot of my father’s wisdom).

Government

Eric Holder was an active participant to prevent information on ‘Fast & Furious’ to be released:

I have long maintained that Eric Holder should be in jail. Maybe the next president will clean up the DoJ.

A history lesson and exactly the reason we have our 2nd amendment:
http://bearingarms.com/73-federal-agents-killed-174-wounded-botched-gun-control-raid/?utm_source=thdailypm&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=nl_pm&newsletterad=
Don’t ever forget it.

I don’t think government is any more honest or truthful since Waco in 1993 (1:49:50):
Waco – A new revelation. Anyone else see parallels to the Bundy/Finicum situation playing out today?

It can’t be treaty since Obama signed it in violation of the Constitution (without senate consent).
Obama didn’t even sign the Paris ‘treaty’, he had SoS John Kerry sign it on behalf of our country:
http://minutemennews.com/john-kerry-signs-the-uns-paris-climate-accord-on-obamas-behalf/
Meanwhile, congress does nothing. If they had any moral compass or understanding of the Constitution, impeachment proceedings would begin now.
Alex Newman reminds us all that it doesn’t matter, congress passed a law in 1994 prohibiting any disbursement of funds to the UN since they have recognized the ‘State of Palestine’:

http://minutemennews.com/1994-u-s-law-prohibits-the-distribution-of-taxpayer-funds-to-un-climate-bureaucracy/
Whew, that was close.

Kentucky is launching a full investigation into the previous administration’s possible corruption, reports Onan Coca:
http://eaglerising.com/32667/kentucky-launches-investigation-into-possible-corruption-of-previous-democrat-administration/
This looks like it might be something major in a few months. Looks like the FBI is involved as well.

Warren Mass writes on the CSPOA (Constitutional Sheriffs and Peace Officers Association) protecting us from this nation’s greatest threat to our freedom:
http://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/constitution/item/23007-major-media-takes-notice-of-constitutional-sheriffs-and-their-campaign
Our federal government. I wish this was a parody piece but it isn’t.

Bundy Ranch

This is an important story to me so I will continue to report and attempt to educate others until it is resolved.

Tim Brown reports that Larry Klayman has been refused to be allowed to represent Cliven Bundy for a second time by judge Gloria Navarro.
This is a CLEAR violation of the 6th amendment and another example of the federal government being the bully in this matter:

Too late for Jake Ryan, he’s now in jail on bullshit federal charges like most of the Bundy’s.

Tim Brown reports on the abuse our government is responsible for in regards to Cliven Bundy:
http://minutemennews.com/bundys-sons-denied-pre-trial-release-because-fed-say-theyre-a-danger-to-the-community/

http://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/feds-want-keep-cliven-bundy-behind-bars
http://www.sltrib.com/home/3801196-155/2-bundy-sons-lose-bid-for
To deny bail is insane, they are not ‘flight risks’ or ‘dangers to the community’. The Bundy’s are clearly being held as political prisoners. I do not consent.

I found this very interesting. Courts (including SCOTUS) have ruled many times that a ‘driver’s license’ in NOT required to drive a vehicle on all public or common ways unless you are being paid to drive:

Isn’t this a crime on its own? Willfully withholding evidence demanded as part of a congressional subpoena?:
http://freebeacon.com/issues/state-department-office-removed-benghazi-files-congressional-subpoena/
Whoever was SoS at the time (Hillary in case you didn’t understand my frustration), should be in jail.

Donald, it’s a private club…you (and all taxpayers) are just paying for it.

Democrats

The recently uncovered ‘Panama Papers’ reveal many close connections to the Clintons reports Tyler Durden:
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2016-04-18/multiple-clinton-connections-emerge-ongoing-panama-papers-fallout
Why does this not surprise me in the slightest?

It should be illegal for Saudi Arabia to donate over $70 million to it…it’s like a foreign country attempting to buy the presidency (and that IS illegal).

Hillary fans, do you know who you’re supporting? (9:46):
I just wanted to make sure you knew…carry on.

The brother of Hillary’s campaign chief (Tony Podesta) gets $140K a month to lobby for Saudi Arabia:
http://www.breitbart.com/2016-presidential-race/2016/04/21/brother-hillarys-campaign-chief-john-podesta-gets-140k-per-month-lobby-saudis/
I’m sure Tony is worth $1.68 million a year for this…and his relationship with the Clinton’s doesn’t factor into any of this. He must be one heck of a lobbyist.

The Hillary indictment is getting close (6:25):
http://insider.foxnews.com/2016/04/22/judge-napolitano-fbi-has-evidence-indict-and-convict-hillary-clinton-email-scandal
Judge Napolitano gives us his insight.

But it’s interesting to see white minorities sue and win when schools refuse to acknowledge race problems.

Bill Whittle with an excellent ‘Afterburner’ (7:10):
Bernie Sanders and the power of envy.

Louder with Crowder does a parody from ‘Schoolhouse Rock’ (4:04):
http://conservativevideos.com/transgender-schoolhouse-rock-parody-points-out-the-absurdity-of-the-bathroom-controversy/
Is it wrong that I found this very funny?

It appears you are not allowed to hold an opinion that progressives deem ‘not politically correct’.
ESPN announcer and baseball legend Curt Shilling is fired for speaking HIS OPINION on men using women’s restrooms:
http://www.breitbart.com/sports/2016/04/21/espn-fires-curt-schilling-for-criticizing-laws-forcing-transgenders-on-ladies-rooms/
http://www.gopusa.com/transgender-craziness-espn-fires-curt-schilling-for-this-comment/?omhide=true
Tolerance and acceptance…but only if you agree with me.

Do you want to learn how to play guitar the easy way? (3:30):
http://www.networkworld.com/video/64083/first-look-magic-instruments-aims-to-make-anyone-a-guitar-hero
For $300 you too can play the guitar, very little skill needed.

If you really like car movies:

Here are some of the best of all time.

Pizza farm, with Nick Offerman (2:15):

World’s meanest mom? No, this is what a parent should do (1:43):
http://injo.com/2016/04/589829-worlds-meanest-mom-creates-craigslist-ad-that-has-her-daughter-fuming/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=owned&utm_campaign=morning-newsletter

The latest psyop (or propaganda if you prefer) from our controlled media, we are only allowed to know what they want us to know.

A Saudi therapist give advice on how to properly beat your wife (4:09):
https://www.clarionproject.org/videos/saudi-therapist-gives-advice-wife-beating
I wonder how this would work out in the US?

Whoever thought China would be a bastion against the new world order just hasn’t been paying attention:
http://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/asia/item/23012-chinese-mega-bank-partners-with-world-bank-for-new-world-order
Article by Alex Newman.

10 terrorists are killed when the bomb they were working on explodes inside the mosque where it was being built.

It’s been over 5 years since this movie was released ‘Freedom to Fascism’ (2:26:40):
Have things gotten better or worse?

Old news, but Gary Franchi confirms we killed Libya’s president Gaddafi over gold currency (5:00):
Can’t have hard money interfere with a fiat world now, can we.
If you want to learn more on the truth, here it is (1:00:25):
